The more museums I hear about the more convinced I am that there is a museum for everything a person can imagine. Based in Iceland "The Icelandic Phallological Museum" contains the world's largest collection of penises and related artifacts (283). There are penises from every kind of mammal now living in Iceland (yes including man!),nearly half of the collection once belonged to sea mammals,whales,dolphins,seals and walruses which were caught in the local waters. There is also a foreign section which includes a giraffe penis and an old male elephant penis. No animal included in the museum was ever killed for the purpose of being an exhibit. The idea for the museum started as a joke over drinks in the 1970s.
